[SOLVED] pacman -Syu took an extremely long time today

Hey,

this is the first time I've encountered such an issue:
today I upgraded as usual (pacman -Syu) but the process took an extremely long time
(~20 minutes). The last time I upgraded was three days ago.
The culprits seem to have been the libreoffice-still and texlive packages.

Has anyone else had this problem? What could have caused this?

It's not a problem - there was a big texlive update, and each package had post-install scripts to run.

Note to myself: Texlive is huge, really huge.

Unless you've installed https://www.archlinux.org/groups/any/texlive-lang/ and https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … ontsextra/ too, texlive is not that big.
